Carlos -
In my experience, you cannot obtain anywhere near a similar look with
simple bouncing or light management as with this instrument. I've shot
a lot of boxes, panels, reflectors, scrims, the works in still and
motion picture; my own experience and the demos on that site
demonstrate that.
I do not agree with you and Alan; the flash bulb reflector cannot
account for the difference; all of Doc Eggerton's work demonstrates
that, as I posted earlier.
It is good that you see the difference between strobe and flash lamp,
and yes of course, the more you handle the light, the more the
differences are blurred, but to think that a simple reflector could
account for this difference is both inaccurate and counter-intuitive.
